We want to thank all of you for hanging out with us today, for supporting your fellow writers with "likes", comments, and entering raffles. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting and believing in RPL. This has been an amazing day, and reading the lovely things you all have said just brings home again how crazy this year-long ride has been. We can't wait to share another year with everyone.

We want to send a great big huge thank you and hug to those that donated items for the raffles and wrote articles, recipes, and craft tutorials. Thank you so much! You guys are all-stars!

If you missed anything, as items get condensed when we're posting lots, we've grabbed everything as we went along so we could give you this handy "Round Up" of everything that happened during this hectic, awesome day. Enjoy!!!

We look around us and see this awesome world we've built. Post by post, story by story. It's been a crazy year. We have been so incredibly blessed to share it with some amazing people. Reading every heartfelt post during the anniversary was so emotional for us. You all have no idea how much we cherish each and every one of you who gave us and RPL a chance. Here's to many more.

When it's cold out, I like chili as much as the next guy. But sometimes you just want something different. This is a fun take on an old classic, and it tastes even better the next day or if someone else makes it.

The home of daimons, demons, bayous and crocodiles. And lets not forget, the reason everyone puts up with all that nonsense... the beignets are to die for. Bring the feeling of N'awlins home with this recipe. For total authenticity, serve with chicory coffee or for the non-coffee lovers, chocolate milk. Talon may die of heart failure if you skip the chicory addiction though. It's not baklava, but it's close!

Spring/Summer is here, and our skin is still stuck in winter mode. This scrub is easy to make, and you probably have every item on hand already. There are no preservatives, so make it and use it within a week. Makes skin super soft, but be careful using in the shower as it can get a bit slippery.

Have a craving for sweet, sugary goodness? Old fashioned fudge, the kind sold in those ridiculously overpriced fleshy thing candy shops is SO GOOD. But yeah, so expensive. Not anymore. This is so stupid easy that anyone can do it with the most limited supplies ever.

On a recent post I did for the Ds Peltier Complex, I had Damien mention something he found in my giant "It holds everything imaginable" tote bag. People were privately asking me what in the world it was, so I thought I would share.
